A need to be moving.....

I ran into someone yesterday at Evil Big Box Store(tm) #1812, whom I hadn't seen in a few years. Cliff Note:I shaved before I left the house. Anyway when I saw him, I said "hi Gary." Gary replied with "Hey fat boy." Now Gary hasn't missed many meals in his life, and I know this was tongue in cheek. But I also know that my clothes have been getting tighter since I lost my job.

I'm glad that Spring is coming and the days are now longer. I'm also glad that I also had the initiative to move my fat rear end out of the house and around the development. 2.15 miles later, I am now writing this post and getting ready to hit the shower.

I don't like being called fat boy, even if it's true. So I need to do something about it.

Hey, GREAT job on adding the exercise! I haven't been exercising too regularly after I started my training, but then again every day I either bike or walk there and back - if I bike, it takes about 13 minutes per trip, if I walk it takes about 25 minutes per trip.

The better weather sure helps. I've gotten out and walked during a couple lunch hours this week. It beats going out for lunch and spending money on too many calories and too much saturated fat. So from one walker to another, keep it up (walking, not weight).

It blows my mind that people, even in jest, even when "kidding" say such stupid things. Who would say that? What self-loathing does he have that it someone makes him feel better to make someone feel worse? He probably pulls the wings of flies for fun. Sorry. I may be harsh, but I have seen and heard enough subtle bullying to know when it isn't so subtle, and shouldn't be accepted. I always think of something I could have said later when someone says something dumb. Now I have a stock question. When I hear someone say something like that I ask, with true concern "wow, why would you say something like that?" They then say "man, I was just kidding" and I say, " kidding or not, that was mean". It makes them think.
